I was wondering what most of you think on my thought of switching from Venthyr to Night Fae for PvE content? Night Fae is amazing in keys and pvp, but would it be worth switching from Venth to NF if I also raid a lot?
I swapped from venthyr to NF, never regretted it lol… raid performance wise, I personally dont lose to warriors around my itemlevel range but venthyr has an edge in ST/ 2 target cleave scenarios, more so if there’s movement as you lose dmg from aftershock residue procs.
Although with access to burrs from niyas final row, the difference in ST dmg should be close now
As someone that tried NF to Venthyr, and instantly switched back to Night Fae, I’m gonna be a little biased. That said, Night Fae is a lot of fun in all content not just one or two. Really any of the three main covenants are very solid. I really wish they would buff Necrolord to be equal.
I digress, for me, yes, it was totally worth switching. After a few Mythic + runs and a full raid clear I found that I did not like Venthyr play style, story, or esthetics at all. Now I’m back with Night Fae, and really enjoying the class again.
I feel like Condemn damn near requires that you don’t have too many competing opening actions in keys to get the full “fun” out of it, whereas the joy of NF is just laying it atop everything else. Often, for me at least, Condemn can feel a bit of a waste on trash in anything but higher fortified keys.
I’ve been finally gearing up my other (NF) Warrior, and while I miss the Condemn sniping on Fury or the opening two-target burst on Arms, it often feel like it better plays to the baseline strengths, even if it doesn’t exploit them as wildly (when given optimal conditions in which to do so).
And as nice as the AoE Disorient on Venthyr is, you’re getting a repeating AoE knockdown in its place, so…
That said, Signet pushes me far more towards Condemn, especially if I’ve time to raid.
